How to move one whole account out of Unified Folders
I have a bunch of e-mail addresses in Unified folders, all of which are my own except one, which is for a relative on whose behalf I do a lot of things. I'd like to have that account show up completely separate from the Unified folders. Let's call that account X, for brevity.
I've favourited X's Inbox and Sent items, so I can show them outside Unified folders. So far so good.
In the Unified folders Inbox Properties, folders to search chooser, I unchecked X's Inbox and all its other folders.
This is almost what I want, except that X's account, with all its folders still all show up in Unified folders. I'd like to move them as well.
Is this possible?

Thunderbird accounts for all folders in unified folders.That is, all unified folders are displayed under their common folder name, such as inbox. If there are folders that are UNTICKED in unified folders, Thunderbird still accounts for the folders. That's part of the design. Your account is being displayed below the unified folders because the account folders are either unticked in their respective unified categories or they have unique folders. In summary, unified folders shows all folders. If you do not want that account displayed with other accounts, you can create another profile.

Please clarify. If you uncheck the account's folders in unified folders, what is being displayed?
If I uncheck the account's folders in unified folders, they don't show up in unified folders Inbox, but the entire account still shows up as a unified folder. See screenshot. There are 4 accounts (blurred) in Unified Folders. The third is also in Favourites (also blurred). I want that out of Unified folders.

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated.
Unfortunately, a different profile is not the solution I'm looking for. The point is that I want to see new messages for the other account at a glance when they arrive, but separate from my own traffic. Switching accounts to and fro will only make it more work.

If you are willing to use userChrome.css, put the following CSS in userChrome.css. The following CSS should work for Thunderbird 140.3.1esr on Windows:
/* Hide email account in the Unified Folders: */
#folderPane [data-mode="smart"] [title="user@example.com"] {
display: none !important;
}
Please change user@example.com in the above CSS to the email address which you want to hide.
